I am thinkin about getting two sets of these components for my Monte Carlo SS, I havent really seen any non-biased, reputable reviews out there. Can anyone tell me how they are? Both sets will be powered by their own amp, at 180W RMS.

Horrible for the money.. Very muddy sounding mids, and harsh tweets.. I would look elsewhere..

i like the midbass not crazy about the tweets, but overall 8/10. they need 100w+ to sound good

QFT. I auditioned them a while back and they failed to impress me in any way. I fiddled with the HU's EQ for a good long while and no matter what I did I just could not get them to sound decent.

you wont be dissappointed with that amp...i have one and love it.. its rather large but is rock solid..... i like the fact its very easy to set up without the worry of clipping.....it has the blinking lights on it to tell you when its clipping....took maybe 10 minutes to set up! running it biamped with my polk momo's and it sounds great.

Yeah, thats the one, I think 8 guage should be plenty, but if anyone thinks otherwise...

I am also considering these speakers... $299

Boston Acoustics PRO 60 6.5" Component Speakers

I would try to listen to both before making any decisions.

Both Boston and Pioneer are widely available.....you should have a dealer for both within driving distance.

Boston generally makes great component sets......but Pioneer really packed a ton of technology in the PRS mids and they are very well designed drivers. I wouldn't cross them off your list based on one or two replies to this thread.

Search the website Dejawiz posted earlier for some more opinions on the PRS set, and here is CA&E's review of the set;

ok, I will browse around a couple shops and see what they got, I also like those precision power speakers posted below. Any opinions on those?
